Field Missionaries:

Alan & Sandra Skene (Malawi) – Alan & Sandra, both originally hailing from Scotland, have faithfully served God and the church in Malawi since the turn of the millennium.

Non-Board Personnel:

We are keen to involve as many people as possible in the work of Actionoverseas both at home and overseas. Although it is impossible to list everyone by name we are grateful to everyone who supports the board by acting as Actionoverseas Reps in their local churches.

NB – Pictures of board etc need to be added

How we started

The Apostolic Church can trace its origins back to the Welsh Revival of 1904. From our earliest days mission has been at the heart of all that we do, in fact our very first church council in 1922 was described as a ‘missionary council’.

That same year, in July, our first missionaries set sail from Liverpool bound for Argentina. Just a month later four apostles from the UK headed to the United States to pioneer a work there.

Those early pioneering endeavours have resulted in the Apostolic Church being represented today in over 100 nations around the world. Apostolic missionaries have reached all corners of the globe from Europe to Australasia, from Asia to Africa and both North & South America.

Many of the mission fields forged by the UK Apostolic Church now operate autonomously but they continue to display the same missionary zeal that our forefathers carried, expanding into neighbouring territories and beyond.
